This document summarizes a study examining age-related differences in emotion regulation and the role of mindfulness. It finds that older adults show a positivity bias when rating images and increased prefrontal cortex activation during cognitive reappraisal compared to young adults. Older adults report higher levels of dispositional mindfulness. Higher mindfulness is associated with greater prefrontal cortex recruitment and reduced amygdala reactivity during reappraisal for both age groups. The study aims to further examine relationships between mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal success, and neural correlates with an additional older adult participant. Future work developing interventions using mindfulness to enhance emotion regulation abilities in aging is discussed.
